Draelent

Hello, I’m Draelent, solo game dev and composer. I make fast, focused games with original soundtracks. I’m currently building Lumberite and The Board is Yours, my first commercial releases on Steam.

I participated in plenty of game jams and developed over 30 small games you can play for free on my itch.io.

Valehands (ex-Lumberite)

An incremental builder about quiet work and a world coming alive.

PC – Release: Q2 2026

Valehands is a cozy incremental where you guide tiny crews through a satisfying daily rhythm. Recruit, build, discover, upgrade, and watch the world come alive. Set goals for the day, secure what you can before night, and accept that not everything finishes today. That’s fine, nothing is wasted: reuse what remains, keep pushing and watch tomorrow go further.

Feel free to play the prologue called Lumberite to have a first look at the game!

The Board is Yours

An incremental game with chess-based synergies where placement optimization is crucial.

PC – Release: Q1 2026

The Board is Yours is a strategic chess-based incremental game: buy squares, unlock upgrades, and chain synergies through defended pieces. This isn’t a “click-and-chill” idle game, it’s a razor-edged puzzle economy where every placement matters. Each new square costs double, so impulsive buys and sloppy layouts will stall your run. Expect to rethink routes, rewire priorities, and constantly reposition pieces as defenses turn into multipliers and upgrades rewrite the board. Make wise choices and optimize your layout until the board belongs to you.

Untitled (Incremental 3 Second dungeon)

A semi-active incremental game based on my 3 Seconds Dungeon prototype.

PC – Release: Q3 2026

(Untitled – Incremental 3 Second dungeon) is a semi-active incremental crawler where you have 3 seconds to clear each floor. Make sharp decisions, clear the room, and loot what you can. Between runs, invest in permanent upgrades to bend the odds in your favor. Push into deeper floors with elites and bosses that will test your timing and your build. Runs are lightning-fast, but progress stacks, so get ready to sharpen your execution and spend your hard-earned resources. And keep descending, three seconds at a time.
